Don't be afraid about the interview

7 years ago

A lot of people have come to me very nervous about the interview at the Immigration when applying for residency.
A Tico guy who married a Canadian lady was afraid that they would ask questions about his wife's grandmother.LOL!
I understand it's very intimidating the fact that they separate the wife and the husband.
Each one goes to a different room!
Let me see: they asked me if I write with my left hand or right hand.
They asked me the color of my condo.
They asked me my level of education in my home country,
The guy didn't speak a word in English but I'm blessed because Spanish and Portuguese are very similar even though I applied as a Canadian Citizen.
I even made the guy laugh!
When I noticed he was writing with his left hand I told him that people say that thise who write with their left hand are very smart like President Obama because he too writes with his left hand.
So I told him that one day he could become the President of Costa Rica
and he laughed!
My point is: don't be afraid because they won't ask you any hard questions and certainly they won't ask you about your spouse's great grandmother!-LOL!
